5 Bold Predictions for Royal Rumble: New world champion, The McMahon's power struggle rivalry begins

#4 Shane McMahon returns and starts a feud against Vince McMahon

Recent reports have suggested that Shane McMahon is set to return in the men's Royal Rumble match this weekend. His return could kick-start a massive WrestleMania rivalry against his own father and the chairman of WWE Vince McMahon.

All this could begin with Vince's mentee Austin Theory eliminating Shane-O-Mac from the Rumble. Considering the not-so-good on-screen relationship between the McMahon father-son duo, the WWE Chairman would be delighted to see Austin Theory eliminate his son. We could then see a heated argument between Mr. McMahon and Shane backstage.

All this could ultimately lead to a McMahon vs. McMahon rivalry at WrestleMania 38. Theory could be the one to represent Vince McMahon against Shane McMahon, or we might see another young star represent the latter at the premium live event.

To raise the stakes further, WWE could add some power struggle angle as well in the mix.

#3 Riddle will eliminate Randy Orton from the Royal Rumble

Two top stars already announced to enter this year's men's Royal Rumble match are Randy Orton and Riddle, popularly known together as the RK-Bro.

In a very short span, the two have become arguably the most loved tag team on WWE's current roster. They even had an amazing run as the RAW Tag Team Champions which recently came to an end.

At the Rumble, we might see the first sign of explosions between RK-Bro with Riddle eliminating Orton from the match. While he would've expected The Viper to be a sport, he might strike back and begin a proper feud against his partner. This could ultimately lead to a WrestleMania 38 match between the two.
